Is that your proposal picture? Tiffany diamond, wow Mav you shouldn't have.

Maryland, MSU, and Indiana

EMC certainly looks the part of an ILB already.

Sticking with my LSU pick on this one.

Nobody is saying they need a Clemson or Bama offer to be considered a good talent. There comes a point in time where you have to stop taking lower players and labeling them diamonds in the rough because 9/10 they just aren't. It is the reality of it. People piss and moan to not look at stars and rankings and then show a handful of players who were successful despite their ranking, but the majority flame out.

Agreed. Need players pushing for positions in order to be successful. Don't need any more Tony Butler-esque players.

We have pushed the "heart" narrative for a damn decade.

Yeah. There is still time but this class compared to 2019 and 2020 shows why a winning season has to happen this year. Especially with the local talent in 22. Got to show some progress.

Majority

I’m not sure if you are agreeing or saying his weight is fine, but 180-190 as a ILB in the Big 10 would get ran through like a Twinkie at fat camp.

Kpai has played how many games at LB? That plus his weight mean he is going to take some time to develop. I’m not saying he doesn’t have talent, but he isn’t going to come in and steal anyone’s spot off the bat.

Yup. That is why this class looks pretty damn average on paper. I don't see any current commits that could come in and play day 1. This is a very developmental class and in turn very frustrating from an outside perspective.

Fisher's recruiting strategy has to change in my opinion. Relying way to much on diamonds in the rough. That room is looking very thin now. Frustrated to say the least.

The trend of high rated safeties leaving without playing a snap continues.

I consider Arkansas the midwest if that helps. What if I change it to say "Deep South"

It's the south.... as far as there concerned COVID doesn't exist, only football. edit: Deep South

I believe he is going on his own dime. I don’t know if it is an OV per the Iowa writer.

Yes and I just think the relationship with LSU continues to be strong, probably just as strong as with Frost and co. That campus tour is also conveniently when LSU plays Texas. The longer it goes the worse it gets for us in my opinion.

Visiting LSU September 12th. Also can we add LSU @Mavric

Yes please.

Lack of visits and last two seasons results make for the class we have now. There are some good players, but we are not seeing the typical out of nowhere visits like we are used to and it is definitely hindering the potential of this class. Think with who we are targeting, we could have a top 22 class, but if visits get back going I think we will see a class like the last two years. Moral of the story is COVID sucks.

I wouldn't go that far, but Webb's commitment is a bit odd to me with how early it is in the cycle.

I don’t care if we aren’t hot recruiting db’s, you don’t take an unranked kid in July with only one other offer.

Yeah I’m kinda at a loss.
